Affirmations

Affirmations are powerful things. As with visualizing, the sub-conscious mind cannot tell the difference between a lie and reality, so what you keep affirming to yourself, until it sinks in deeper than what you are just hearing with your conscious mind through your ears will take root as a belief.

How do you think your life is the way it is now, whether it is the life you desire or not? The beliefs you have, amongst other things shape your reality. The reason you have your beliefs now is largely due to the fact that you have been affirming them to yourself for years. Certain events that happened in your life in the past caused you to make certain decisions about who you are. Possibly because somebody told you and you believed them, adopting their judgemnet (good or bad) as a belief and carrying within your mindset as your own belief or something that happened to you, which caused you to define yourself and how you fit into your world, in some way by making a judgement on yourself. Either way, you have been carrying various beliefs, which have instilled certain values in your mind and therefore have built your blueprint for the world, how it works and created the illusion that it cannot be changed from the current postion you hold as you view your world.

In short, you have been making affirmations your whole life, so if you look closely you will see that affirmations work very effectively at bringing about the subject matter of those affirmations.
